Duval Timothy
Sen Am (2021 Edition)

Insane boogie fire from Rio circa 82; both Robson Jorge and Lincoln Olivetti were already decorated before they joined forces, but this one took both of their reputations and amplified them beyond expectation. Their one and only album, it's loaded with soul and funk from every corner of Brazil's sexy city and brought together with beautiful attention to detail; the gradual vocal breakdowns, rude synths and lavish instrumental sections, key cuts such as the Wonder-level "Aleluia", the jazz slides and glides of "Pret-A-Porter" and the sexy 80s electro boogie "Squash" will still completely flip any party 35 years later. Stunning.

A must-own for lovers of 80s 'cool' and anyone with even a passing interest in Brazillian music, with Cali-soaked bops, dancefloor heat and everything in between. One of Valle's biggest in his post-USA releases where he brought home the American soul, funk and boogie of its era. Legendary Brazil producers Lincoln Olivetti & Robson Jorge credited on keyboards and guitar and USA soul icon Leon Ware on backing vocals and a co-writer! ESSENTIAL LP!
